Texas Will Win....

[TexasLidig8r]

The great philosopher and essayist, George Santayana once wrote, "Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." The latter half of this quote has been repeated many times and in many contexts. So... how, might you ask is this relevant? Let me take you back to....

Monday, October 4, 1999. The Texas Longhorns just had their faces handed to them by the Kansas State Wildcats, 35-17. Texas’ second-year starter at quarterback, redshirt sophomore Major Applewhite, had the worst game of his young career. He was sacked four times, picked off three times, fumbled three more times and had only one touchdown pass. One of his interceptions was returned for a touchdown by linebacker Mark Simoneau. On that play Applewhite was nailed on a blitz, and he told me later it was one of the two hardest hits of his entire career. He finished the day 19-37 for 271 yards with those three interceptions, three fumbles and one touchdown. K-State’s David Allen returned a punt for a touchdown in the third quarter to break the game open.

The Oklahoma Sooners went into week four undefeated and largely untested after three blowout wins and then, lost a shootout at Notre Dame, 34-30.

Both Texas and OU were coming off losses and faced each other in the Cotton Bowl looking to regroup. The Texas - OU game in 1999, by the way, saw Texas coming in with a two game winning streak against the Sooners.

The Dallas Cowboys were 3-0 after beating the Arizona Cardinals, 35-7, on Sunday, October 3rd, six days before Texas/OU.

Fast forward to this Monday, October 1, 2007. The Texas Longhorns just had their faces handed to them by the Kansas State Wildcats, 41-21. Texas’ second year starter at quarterback, redshirt sophomore Colt McCoy, had the worst game of his young career. He was sacked twice, picked off four times and had only one touchdown pass. One of his interceptions was returned for a touchdown by linebacker Ian Campbell. On that play McCoy was nailed on a blitz and he will tell someone later that it was one of the hardest hits of his entire career. He finished the day 19-39 with those four interceptions and one touchdown. K-State’s Jordy Nelson returned a punt for a touchdown in the third quarter to break the game open.

The Oklahoma Sooners went into week five undefeated and largely untested after four blowout wins and lost a nailbiter to Colorado, 27-24.

Both Texas and OU are coming off losses and face each other in the Cotton Bowl looking to regroup. Going into this week, by the way, Texas has a two game winning streak over the Sooners.

The Dallas Cowboys are 4-0 after beating the St. Louis Rams, 35-7, on Sunday, September 30th, six days before Texas/ou.

More facts to consider, the last ELEVEN times either Texas or OU has come into the Red River War having won two straight games, that team has extended the streak to THREE games. This goes back to 1950.

Since 1960, both Texas and OU have come into the Red River War having lost the week before only THREE times.. 1994, 1997 and 1999. The result? Texas won each time.

As for opinion time now... this year's OU's team has already peaked. Bradford played like the freshman he is against an undermanned Muffalo team. Further, the heart and soul of Oklahoma football does indeed reside within a Stoops... the problem is, it is the Stoops coaching in Arizona.

This game has the makings of those four straight Peter Gardere years, during which OU was favored most of the time...

Texas wins on a last second field goal...

and above all, the one, irrefutable and undeniable truth is...

[Doged]

Lid, if you're right then OU is on the brink of winning 5 straight over the bonghorns (you know, like after the '99 game). If you're wrong, then OU is about to kick the cow sh*t out of the bonghorns and break those trends you mentioned.

I think you're both right and wrong.

OU will win another 5 straight, starting this year.

[soonersn2007]

Based on how the two teams played, regardless of both having one loss..........Texas fans are fricking scared. They hope the lackluster, sleepwalking Sooners show up Saturday. But deep down, they know they are gonna get the /kicked the hell out of Miami team.

Texas fans, you're gonna lose, get your crying towels ready and your fax machines warmed up to fire Mack Brown.

[Animal Mother]

You’re a funny, yet sad little man Lid. I hope you and the Texas team think that is why they’ll win. That should make for an ugly slaughter by the Sooners. Is this what your program has been reduced too? Rattling chicken bones and praying to the spirits of contests past? It makes me sniffle a little. Or maybe it’s the ragweed here in Fort Worth???

[Kels]

Hasty generalization, composition, questionable cause, and appeal to belief fallacies. As a lawyer, you know better than that.

Hey Lid...

SHUT YOUR LID!

You just keep on ragging on the greatest team in Big 12 South history, while I remind you that...

1- Your quarterback's injured beyond repair.
2- Your coach is incompetent.
3- And he doesn't have Vince Young like last week.
4- And even Vince Young thinks you guys suck this year.

I'm Badger, and I approve this message:
LID WILL HAVE A NEW AVATAR AFTER SATURDAY! :D:D:D

[OUinFLA]

All avatar bets ought to be based on a specific number of posts with that avatar in use.
Just to bet an avatar change for a period of time is too easy to work around.
Such as Lid just not posting................
HEY! Maybe it's not such a bad bet after all !!!

:D Good luck lawyer friend, your team IS going to lose.

[cheezyq]

Typical ANAL-ysis from a typical "lawyer". Bring in all sorts of data that aren't related to the actual case (game), and hope that you can distract from the fact that you're getting your *** kicked.

Stoops is the judge and the Sooners are the jury, and you've been sentenced to 4 years of watching Bradford kick some Tex-***.

[KRYPTON]

Second words into my mind were "pompous windbag."

First words would cause massive negspeking probably since this is a FSM-Fearing Family Board etc etc.

Seriously dude, you owe me like... three center mousewheel scrolls. That's three forceful but precise motions of my index finger that I'll never get back, and believe me, Mrs KRYPTON demands plenty of forceful but precise motions of my index finger, so I value them highly.

Tejas will lose because all its players will be all afterglowing on each other after 30 minutes in the locker room together, Killebrew spooning Kindle, GET THE MENTAL IMAGE! GET IT! NOW! IMAGINE IT! LET IT BURN INTO YOUR MIND!

The great psychologist and essayist, Timothy Francis Leary once said, "Turn on, tune in, drop out." He also said “The universe is an intelligence test” as well as “I am 100 percent in favor of the intelligent use of drugs, and 1,000 percent against the thoughtless use of them, whether caffeine or LSD." And lets not forget his memorable quote “There are three side effects of acid: enhanced long-term memory, decreased short-term memory, and I forget the third.” These quotes have been repeated many times and in many contexts. So... how, might you ask is this relevant? It's obvious from your delusional post that the whorn fanbase is quite in tune with the whorn football players when it comes to drug use.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

After research, I found that OU currently has no players on its roster from that 99 team. I also found that the current Texas starters would probably be the scout team for that 99 Texas team. Mike Gundy protects Bobby Reid better than that O line protects McCoy. I m sure Mike will show up at the post game to help him out. Chris Crocker will show up too.

Media: Colt, why is your neck bent like that?
Colt: Well...
Mack: Let me answer that one for Colt...He 's played well over the first 4 games. He 's had good protection.
Gumby: THATS NOT TRUE!
Chris: LEAVE COLT ALONE! RIGHT NOW! Anybody who has a problem with him has to go through me!
Gumby: I M A MAN!
Colt:What?
Media: What message did you want to send to the OU defense that sacked you 6 times and separated your head from your body?
Colt: I d like to say...
Gumby: IM 40! COME AFTER ME!

this is the sort of year we don't even have to show the past or see if there is any little "pattern" of who has been winning and losing these games. Hell, we don't even need to know which players are good/bad for the team.

It's pretty obvious who is the better team right now. It doesn't take much evidence to show that we're gonna kick the whorns' asses tommorow.

Texas sucks and always will as long as they still stand.

heres to another 5 year beating and several of them being a slaughterhouse

[TexasLidig8r]

Yep that's him!!!

1-2 Lifetime against the Sooners.

Will it really take a loss to OU for everyone to realize it was Vince, not Mack?

of course.. Vince led Texas to its biggest win over OU in 102 years.. and... of course. Mack recruited Vince.. and developed him into what he became (remember all those on here who said.. "Vince will never be a quarterback.. he will never win anything?!)

What would the Bulls have been without Jordan?
What would the Broncos have been without Elway?

Will it really take another loss to UT for everyone to realize it was Mikey Stoops, not Bobby Stoops? ;)

[TexasLidig8r]

Lid,



It's pretty obvious who is the better team right now.

Colorado and Kansas State. :O

[cvsooner]

No, they were better LAST week. This is THIS week. One of us will be 0-2 in Big 12 play. We both trail osu and a&m. Who'd have ever thought THAT back in August?

[colleyvillesooner]

Pretty sure Mike was gone when we laid it to you 65-13, and shut you out the next year.

Psst...Jordan and the Bulls won six titles...

[badger]

of course.. Vince led Texas to its biggest win over OU in 102 years.. and... of course, this was nothing compared to the shutout 12-0, or those 65-13 or 63-14 scores.
a real fixer uper, aren't you, Lid?:rolleyes:

This game has the makings of those four straight Peter Gardere years, during which OU was favored most of the time...

I don't remember being favored either of the last two years. And speaking of history, Mack Brown has beaten a favored Bob Stoops team how many times?

The great philosopher and essayist, George Santayana once wrote, "Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." The latter half of this quote has been repeated many times and in many contexts. So... how, might you ask is this relevant? Let me take you back to....

Monday, October 4, 1999. The Texas Longhorns just had their faces handed to them by the Kansas State Wildcats, 35-17. Texas’ second-year starter at quarterback, redshirt sophomore Major Applewhite, had the worst game of his young career. He was sacked four times, picked off three times, fumbled three more times and had only one touchdown pass. One of his interceptions was returned for a touchdown by linebacker Mark Simoneau. On that play Applewhite was nailed on a blitz, and he told me later it was one of the two hardest hits of his entire career. He finished the day 19-37 for 271 yards with those three interceptions, three fumbles and one touchdown. K-State’s David Allen returned a punt for a touchdown in the third quarter to break the game open.

The Oklahoma Sooners went into week four undefeated and largely untested after three blowout wins and then, lost a shootout at Notre Dame, 34-30.

Both Texas and OU were coming off losses and faced each other in the Cotton Bowl looking to regroup. The Texas - OU game in 1999, by the way, saw Texas coming in with a two game winning streak against the Sooners.

The Dallas Cowboys were 3-0 after beating the Arizona Cardinals, 35-7, on Sunday, October 3rd, six days before Texas/OU.

Fast forward to this Monday, October 1, 2007. The Texas Longhorns just had their faces handed to them by the Kansas State Wildcats, 41-21. Texas’ second year starter at quarterback, redshirt sophomore Colt McCoy, had the worst game of his young career. He was sacked twice, picked off four times and had only one touchdown pass. One of his interceptions was returned for a touchdown by linebacker Ian Campbell. On that play McCoy was nailed on a blitz and he will tell someone later that it was one of the hardest hits of his entire career. He finished the day 19-39 with those four interceptions and one touchdown. K-State’s Jordy Nelson returned a punt for a touchdown in the third quarter to break the game open.

The Oklahoma Sooners went into week five undefeated and largely untested after four blowout wins and lost a nailbiter to Colorado, 27-24.

Both Texas and OU are coming off losses and face each other in the Cotton Bowl looking to regroup. Going into this week, by the way, Texas has a two game winning streak over the Sooners.

The Dallas Cowboys are 4-0 after beating the St. Louis Rams, 35-7, on Sunday, September 30th, six days before Texas/ou.

More facts to consider, the last ELEVEN times either Texas or OU has come into the Red River War having won two straight games, that team has extended the streak to THREE games. This goes back to 1950.

Since 1960, both Texas and OU have come into the Red River War having lost the week before only THREE times.. 1994, 1997 and 1999. The result? Texas won each time.

As for opinion time now... this year's OU's team has already peaked. Bradford played like the freshman he is against an undermanned Muffalo team. Further, the heart and soul of Oklahoma football does indeed reside within a Stoops... the problem is, it is the Stoops coaching in Arizona.

This game has the makings of those four straight Peter Gardere years, during which OU was favored most of the time...

Texas wins on a last second field goal...

and above all, the one, irrefutable and undeniable truth is...

Hey Lid...

SHUT YOUR LID!

You just keep on ragging on the greatest team in Big 12 South history, while I remind you that...

1- Your quarterback's injured beyond repair.
2- Your coach is incompetent.
3- And he doesn't have Vince Young like last week.
4- And even Vince Young thinks you guys suck this year.

I'm Badger, and I approve this message:
LID WILL HAVE A NEW AVATAR AFTER SATURDAY! :D:D:D

The greatest team in Big 12 South history lost last week? Not even the fourth best team behind two of yours and one of ours. And we lost last week WITH Vince? Where was I?

[utex74]

Lid,

Great post. Even if it is about as relevant as all the Lincoln/JFK assasination comparisons it was good to see.

My prediction is Texas 28, OU 24.

[StormySooner-IN]

The greatest team in Big 12 South history lost last week? Not even the fourth best team behind two of yours and one of ours. And we lost last week WITH Vince? Where was I? I dunno, where were you??

He was right there on the sideline...in his "uni"...standing next to the clapper almost all game.....

[utex74]

I must say, however, Lid is handling his "sole resident whorn defending his team against hundreds of angry Sooner fans" position quite well. You really could be using Herr or nyte's help right about now.

I will take this difficult position into consideration when designing your new avatar :D

But Utex is here. This thing is going to surprise a lot of people I think. Every time Texas is disregarded they rise up and play like it is them against the world. This year they will truly feel it IS them against the world. Nothing to lose, no pressure, no injuries. Time to let it all hang out and see if Bradford can handle the Cotton Bowl.

got your six o'clock Lid.

[Socrefbek]

You left out 3 other historical times that saxeT won 2 in a row and OU won the next year. They have the same relevance as your examples seeing as how they are all in the past and were with completely different teams.

1903-1904 shorties win ... 1905 OU wins

1906-1907 shorties win ... 1908 OU wins

1913-1914 shorties win ... 1915 OU wins

I would think that a lawyer would do better research than that. Of course you did say since 1960 but then if you get to do that then you will gladly allow us to pick the all time series head to head at a convenient point in time like 1948. OU 28 wins Texas 28 wins 3 Ties

Thanks for playing tho ... :cool:

[BudSooner]

Lid, you ****ers couldn't defend the Alamo from the messicans, what the hell makes you think you can defend the red zone??????????


I heard something this morning that was pretty funny on KMOD, those that listened to it can probably translate it better than I can but it went like this...
The Reverand -"Friends, this saturday, it might be in the fourth quarter or it might be from a Clydesdale mare but one way or another a Colt is gonna get dropped on his head"

[kevpks]

The great philosopher and essayist, George Santayana once wrote, "Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." The latter half of this quote has been repeated many times and in many contexts. So... how, might you ask is this relevant? Let me take you back to....

Monday, October 4, 1999. The Texas Longhorns just had their faces handed to them by the Kansas State Wildcats, 35-17. Texas’ second-year starter at quarterback, redshirt sophomore Major Applewhite, had the worst game of his young career. He was sacked four times, picked off three times, fumbled three more times and had only one touchdown pass. One of his interceptions was returned for a touchdown by linebacker Mark Simoneau. On that play Applewhite was nailed on a blitz, and he told me later it was one of the two hardest hits of his entire career. He finished the day 19-37 for 271 yards with those three interceptions, three fumbles and one touchdown. K-State’s David Allen returned a punt for a touchdown in the third quarter to break the game open.

The Oklahoma Sooners went into week four undefeated and largely untested after three blowout wins and then, lost a shootout at Notre Dame, 34-30.

Both Texas and OU were coming off losses and faced each other in the Cotton Bowl looking to regroup. The Texas - OU game in 1999, by the way, saw Texas coming in with a two game winning streak against the Sooners.

The Dallas Cowboys were 3-0 after beating the Arizona Cardinals, 35-7, on Sunday, October 3rd, six days before Texas/OU.

Fast forward to this Monday, October 1, 2007. The Texas Longhorns just had their faces handed to them by the Kansas State Wildcats, 41-21. Texas’ second year starter at quarterback, redshirt sophomore Colt McCoy, had the worst game of his young career. He was sacked twice, picked off four times and had only one touchdown pass. One of his interceptions was returned for a touchdown by linebacker Ian Campbell. On that play McCoy was nailed on a blitz and he will tell someone later that it was one of the hardest hits of his entire career. He finished the day 19-39 with those four interceptions and one touchdown. K-State’s Jordy Nelson returned a punt for a touchdown in the third quarter to break the game open.

The Oklahoma Sooners went into week five undefeated and largely untested after four blowout wins and lost a nailbiter to Colorado, 27-24.

Do people actually hire you to practice law? This is the dumbest post I think I have ever read. None of this information you posted has anything to do with this game. Do you think the players or coaches give a rat's a$$ about any of this garbage you are spewing? You can twist history to say almost anything you want to in sports. The Sooners are better than Texas in every facet of the game this year. I think the fact that Texas has lost their last three conference games and is reeling from a series of off the field problems is more pertinent than your inane ramblings. How many solid quarters has Texas put together this season? 4 or 5 maybe. Face it Lid, your Horns are overmatched in this one. There is no hope for Texas. Reserve your room in San Antonio now, and for the Alamo Bowl, not the CCG.

PS. Sooners have a heck of a lot more to do with the Cowboy's recent success than any Horn does.

[kevpks]

*** PLAGIARISM ALERT ***

http://justsouthofthedot.blogspot.com/2007/10/coincidence.html

Is this how you argue your cases too?

Who would have thought that Lid would go all O'Leary on us? What a fraud. Even my college freshmen cite their sources.

[KantoSooner]

So, to boil your argument down: Texas will prevail because years ago a set of events took place which superficially resembles the events of the past five weeks. Okay.
Such reasoning ignores principles of causality fundamental to the last 2,500 years of western philosophy and shares more with notions of 'logic' common among neolithic shamans, but okay, let's go with it.
A friend of mine once met a reigning Miss Japan at a bar and was able to finagle a date. By your logic, precisely the same thing will happen to me if I go to the same bar and sit on the same barstool.
Only 4 hours 'til opening time, better go brush my teeth, don't want to waste my big moment.
Texas will not simply lose, but will be thrashed. This conclusion is drawn from the facts that our O line will protect our QB who will be able to throw at will on your crap D secondary and our D will keep Vomit Boy from doing squat. Although I think a three TD margin is probably a more prudent bet, I can see this thing getting into a 50-something to 0 demo-derby more than a Texas win.
Have an unhappy day.
Farq you very much.

Lid, you ****ers couldn't defend the Alamo from the messicans, what the hell makes you think you can defend the red zone??????????

Defense lessons from the team that gave up, what, 43*??!!! to who?? You say it was just months ago??

Sounds like Muskogee (among others) will be covered in burnt orange if that defense shows up. At least.


*somewhere Sooners are saying "at least we didn't give up half a hundred, just 43 percent of a hundred"

hilarious when a whorn tries to gig us with our losses. Considering the monumental flops they've been through most of the last 35 years or so. They couldn't get another Okie to coach them to more championships. And my guess is you could go back in the history of the series and find that texas has probably won more times when rated lower solely because they are almost always rated lower, as it should be. :D

[badger]

Chill, man. Every fan supports their team no matter how obvious it is that they are going to lose. He was man enough to put up his avatar, and now, I have to decide whether to credit him that 4 seconds that Texas probably should have had for us to sack Colt again :D

[tulsaoilerfan]

4 straight conference losses for Texas; couldn't happen to a more deserving team. :)

[okieballin]

we all know that texas would have used that 4 seconds to throw a hail mary for a td, then converted for 2 to win the game. they would proceed to run the table the rest of the season by shutting out all their remaining oppenents. there would be no big 12 championship game, due to all north teams agreeing that it would be pointless try to stop the texas machine. ultimately texas wins the mnc with a domination of whoever is unfortunate enough to show up.
4 seconds........b-tches please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SanDiegoSoonerGal]

...OR NOT.:D :texan:

[cheezyq]

Well, Lid, this is what happens when you base your case on random circumstances, rather than facts.

Bradford begins his domination of the RRS. Oh, and if we don't shoot ourselves in the foot all day long, this game isn't even close.
